Speaking of the OSU/WSU spending their settlement cash on absolutely stupid things, Oregon St. is paying Wake Forest $750k for a buy game - but it's a HOME AND HOME. Schools typically make a payment to the visiting team in football. A negotiated amount is typical in non-conference games, while conference games usually pay an amount set by conference guidelines. When Texas played at Michigan this year, Texas received a $1 million payout. When Michigan returns to Texas in the future, it will also receive a $1 million payout. |

They are doing that (much smaller number than TX-MI though). The 750K is ON TOP of that. |

(it was Memphis State I think) There is no such school.
There is the University of Memphis, though. Maybe do some research before trying to join the conversation?
So it's fair game to be an @$$%*!* to you when you make a minor mistake in your posts, such as referring to a school by its former and likely more well known name. |

Though I wonder if this was a game they needed (or wanted) to set up because of the realignment and Wake Forest had to cancel a previously scheduled game and pay a cancellation fee to that school. |

I'm a BYU fan for the most part. Perfectly explains your bitterness and jadedness towards the PAC: since BYU was never good enough to warrant inclusion, while Utah was. Pac-12 is anything but a glorified MWC. It doesn't matter in the slightest if that's true. It's also still true that the PAC is the premier brand of Western conferences (of the 2 main ones). You continue to demonstrate that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm not "bitter" toward the Pac-12. BYU not getting in was a blessing in disguise because the Big 12 is much better for them. The Pac-12 was an arrogant, poorly-run conference that got exactly what it deserved. And you can't keep insisting that the Pac-12 is some "premier" brand in the West when it is just the Mountain West 2.0 but probably a bit worse than the original one. |

They had to scramble to fill the schedule after they blew up their scheduling partnership with the MWC. Just wasting all of that money, and I know they're going to run to the legislature in 2 years begging again and playing the victim instead of mismanagers extraordinaire. |

I had no idea that Memphis and Memphis State are the same university. Looks like they changed the name in 1994. That is about when I started following college sports, so I guess that makes sense. It also makes sense for people older than me that they might still think of the old name. |

It also makes sense for people older than me that they might still think of the old name. Since I'm a "bit" older than you, it's normal for me to see Memphis State and know that's now Memphis. Realistically Memphis State seems a little bit more normal to me. A number of schools in Texas are like that for me as a significant number have changed their name since I was kid. |

The Pac-12 got what it deserved. Those are not mutually exclusive. As I said, BYU ended up in a better situation by getting into the Big 12. And anyone with half a brain knows the Pac-12 had incompetent leadership. I'm generally not in the practice of mourning the collapse of conferences that were sunk by their own stupid decisions, which is what happened with the Pac-12. |

How can one call something snooty, wish for its' demise and say it deserves what it got but not come across as bitter. If you weren't bitter you might say something like, too bad for them that they didn't get decent leadership before the roof caved in. Or hey that incompetant Larry Scott guy was a real dipweed and should have been fired a long time ago. Just some thoughts, don't get bitter. |

This is standard. You are wrong

Anyone who reads your posts knows how bitter and jaded you are. Now they also know you're pathetic. What is it with some of you and your poor critical thinking and reading comprehension skills? Correctly recognizing that the Pac-12 was arrogant and poorly run and not really deserving of any sympathy (I don't see anyone crying over the old Big East) does not necessarily make someone bitter. As for being "pathetic," I'd look in the mirror, my man. I'm not the one who continues to pretend that the Mountain West 2.0 (i.e. the Pac-7) is still a great brand. |
